A local church is urging its members to permanently remove books from the Shelby County Public Library by checking them out and never returning them. The books portray gay characters and historical figures or explore LGBTQ+ themes.
Pamela Wilson Federspiel, who has been director of the library in downtown Shelbyville for 34 years, says the action is tantamount to “stealing.”
But three leaders of the Reformation Church of Shelbyville defend what they call an “act of civil disobedience.”
Uhh so if somebody did the same for books about conversion therapy? Would they still consider it civil disobedience or does that become an attack on “freedom of religion.”
I think it would be funnier to checkout copies of the bible and highlight ezekiel 23:20 before returning it.
